A six-month-old baby of Italian origin died last night in Belgium following injuries sustained in a fall in a nursery.
According to what was declared by the educator who had him in custody, it was an accidental fall, but the reconstruction is not convincing: an investigation into alleged beatings had already been opened yesterday.
The incident occurred in a kindergarten in Kessel-Lo near Louvain.
"The loss of him leaves a hole in our hearts," wrote the parents on social media.
The girl struggled for a few days between life and death in intensive care in the hospital, for a skull fracture and cerebral hemorrhage.
Earlier today, the parents gave the heartbreaking announcement to acquaintances on social media: "A. will never wake up again. They were the best six months of our lives and his loss leaves a hole in our hearts. Father and mother they will always think of you. Goodbye my baby,” they wrote.
According to what was already reported yesterday by the Belgian media, given the seriousness of the injuries, a coroner was immediately appointed who judged the injuries incompatible with reconstruction and an investigation was therefore opened into the thirty-year-old babysitter on suspicion of assault and beatings.
The little girl's parents have lived in Belgium for several years.
Her mother is from Carmiano, in Salento.
While the father is from Pisa.
The child's funeral will be held in Belgium.
"This story leaves us all shocked - says the mayor of Carmiano, Giovanni Erroi -. We are truly sorry and I would like to express my condolences and condolences on behalf of all citizens to the family for this tragic accident. I know all the mother's relatives, the brother, the cousins. Carmiano has 12,000 inhabitants. The mother has been away for some years now".
